I'm a newbie, and I have a question about an '88 Comanche I'm looking into buying. The ad says the sway bar mounts need to be welded to the axle, but in the pictures I cannot tell where these mounts would weld to or how to mount and connect them. OR if i can even run a sway bar?

are those the stock axles under it? i'm only getting one of your pics. it looks like it ,i would think they would weld in the same place as a ckerokee axle.i take it you are going to drive it on and off road ? if it's going to be driven off road only get rid of it .

its doesnt look like you have a very good track bar to steering bar angle- you want to try to have them exactly the same- you'll like this at freeway speed

the sway bar links were prolly removed when the highsteer arm was installed, the sway bar link probably would hit the newer steering arm- if you wanted to keep the sway bar, you'd prolly have to move it back on the frame an inch or so and try to get it to run up between the coils and the steering

could be easily done- but it depends on what you want to use it for- i have quick disconnects on my front sway bar, and i have drove it around on the road disconnected a lil more sway but its not that bad

I'd like to be able to use this truck on the road as well as off road, including freeway driving. It has quick disconnects and the links, the mounts just need to be welded on. I guess to me it just looks like there's no room to even mount the sway bar links.
But what you're suggesting is to move back the sway bar itself and remount it on the frame?
And with the track bar to steering bar angle, do I want them to be parallel with each other? or as close as i can get?

I've heard mixed reviews on running no sway bar, some people say it's not a big problem and others say their trucks are all over the road.

My personal and honest opinion is that if you daily drive the vehicle keep it on and invest in disco's.

ANY car can drive 70mph down the freeway with no sway bar with no problems at all.
but that's not where your sway bar comes into play.

At any given moment ANYTHING can happen to where you may need to maneuver your vehicle in a quick fashion. That will not be safe with out a sway bar. even worse at faster speeds. and worse yet on lifted or modified vehicles.

Bottom line is that's it is not safe for a vehicle that is used primarily for transportation. Compromising your vehicles handling for small gains once a month off road just simply isn't worth it. The price of quality disco's is well worth it. You got to pay to play man.

Here's where i say "just my .02" but I wont because this is just common sense.
